STREET ART TAKES MILAN’S TOWN COUNCIL
Artistic Exchange at Palazzo Marino, Milano
A project that combines the past of Georges de la Tour with the contemporary art of the present: during the night of 9 January, the wall that comprises the backdrop to the exhibition was completely painted by six young artists. It will be reconstructed and put on show at the “Superground” space on the southern outskirts of Milan (Romolo), a location that was built on the remains of an old workers canteen and which now hosts a variety of artistic, social, cultural and theatrical activities. The exhibition is free and will be open to the public from 14 to 31 January, from 10 am to 7 pm daily.

WALLS OF FAME MILAN
I was invited to collaborate with the City Council of Milan on a project called “Walls of Fame”. The aim was to renew two buildings in the periphery of Milan creating 4 murals inspired on famous personalities of the city. I decided to portrait the famous Milanese painter Caravaggio, the holy Virgin Mary wich is a golden statue symbol of the city, Alessandro Manzoni who was a poet and a writer and Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, the founder of the Futurist movement.
On another building I decided to portrait foreign artists who always had been a great source of inspiration for my art such as Frida Kalho, Keith Haring and Andy Warhol. All murals were realized in Milan during May 2011.
